Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awesome Doctor
Just had my first visit with Dr. Salvaggio and it was an awesome experience. The staff were helpful and kind. Dr. Salvaggio didn’t rush the visit. He helped schedule me for pain management and he was very kind. Definitely recommend him as a doctor.

Excellent and Extremely Professional
He has great bedside mannerism. He actually listens to you as a patient instead of rushing you along as you're not important enough.

Compassionate and professional care.
Dr. Salvaggio is always friendly, willing to listen and then return offers options of concern. He has been my primary care physician since his arrival at the Medical Center clinic. I have referred several friends and family members to his care. They actually is not enough words to describe how important And caring he is He has a great broad spectrum knowledge and shares information from current Literature.

Great Primary Care Doctor!6
Dr. Salvaggio has been my primary care physician for many years. He has an excellent “bedside manner” and I have never been anxious seeing him. He has reviewed and guided me through several health changes as I aged (now 76) and coordinates with my various medical specialists. I saw Dr. Salvaggio for my semiannual checkup and he, as always, reviewed my lab work and asked “how I was feeling?” He listens … both to my responses to his questions and provides answers to my questions. Dr. Salvaggio proposed a change in treatment, sought my thoughts and helped me understand the pros and cons of the new treatment. He partners with me in making healthcare decisions, rather than directing them. Highly recommended!

Don't go to this doctor!
My father in law has been a patient of Dr. Salvaggio's for many years. His last visit to him was June of 2022. Recently, he had an appointment for March of this year, but that appointment had to be missed due to my FILs hospitalization. We have him home now, and home health is working with him. He was showing signs of a uti and we could NOT get the Drs. office to authorize a urine test. Their reasoning was that he hadn't seen my FIL lately. Well, he couldn't see Dr. Salvaggio when he was supposed to because he was in the hospital. Today, he was taken to ER by ambulance. And guess what his diagnosis was... yes... He HAS a UTI! Dr. Salvaggio's office could have helped us, and refused to. I will not ever take another loved one to this doctor... nor would I recommend that you take yours! This is an example of what is wrong with our health care system.

Dr Salvaggio spends as much time as needed with his patients and goes out of his way to help with any issues — I had major pain after a full hip replacement and he checked my leg and found the tendon was very hard!! Gave me several recommendations and liked the idea of me having MFR therapy to loose up the tendon!! He definitely pays attention to any issue a patient brings up and provides great ways to resolve the issue!

Dr was very rude and I was not able to get all my questions answered because he KICKED ME OUT OF HIS OFFICE. His staff called my husband on a Friday morning at work to let him know that he was to stop his medication immediately and that the dr said he was worried he would have a stroke and he needed to be seen. Husband calls back shortly and is told he can not be seen until Monday. Needless to say this was very upsetting and he had to leave work. This was so unprofessional. I Do not recommend.
